The future of memory technology is here.In today's rapidly changing world, any component that is more than five years old must normally be updated. At seven years old, DDR3 memory falls directly into this category: its potential is exhausted. Since the introduction of DDR3 memory technology in 2007, processors have doubled their capacity, SSDs have revolutionised throughput and graphics cards have dramatically increased the frame rates so that only the memory slows the performance. With the Crucial DDR4 desktop memory, you can overcome the bottleneck created by the DDR3 memory and create a new standard of performance.
